All Halocha Shailos and Tefilla Questions

[S209]

How do you halachically determine who's right in the dispute and who should eat the loss? Are you relying on AMEX's beis din?

That’s a good answer to his question as it brings up that there may be an issue but there is definitely a case to be made that he signed up to accept payments through their platform knowing it is subject to their rules which include chargebacks.

It is not worth the chance of partaking of food that was stored under a bed. This is so even when there is special protection like on Sukkos or the first night of Pesach. The special protection is only effective against “mazikin” (Demons) and not for “ruach raha” (Bad spirits). It is definitely not worth losing sleep over it.

Random example:
סנהנדרין סה ע״ב
המרעיב עצמו והולך ולן בבית הקברות כדי שתשרה עליו רוח טומאה
Rashi explains ruach tuma is referring to שד של בית הקברות.

This fellow is assuming they are separate things.

RYBs always said to give the food to someone who isn't makpid - bisheim Rav Elyashiv zatzal.
(He said even though this is brought in halacha, for some reason there are people who aren't makpid.)

Ruach tuma is Ruach ra?

[imayid2]

Ruach tuma is Ruach ra?

Is it not?

Ok here is a different one:
ראש השנה כח עמוד א
התוקע לשד
רש״י- להבריח רוח רע מעליו

There is much more to these breaks than meets the eye.

Reminds me of the guy who said a mazel there's no Kriah shabbos by mincha, else he'd miss it every week...

There are other parts to it too such as not to be misayem bdavar ra.  When I was young Rav Pessin ZTL from Monsey went through some with me including some aspects I didn't fully grasp. He used to have the baal koreh or gabbai ask him where to add whenever they did.
